Cancel long process

[bejen...@gmail.com]

Hi everyone,

I'm handling some code that depending on the project can last up to 5 minutes. Some times I remember I've inputed something wrong and there's no way of stoping it.

Do you know any workaround to implment an Escape Key event?

Hi Andrei,

I'm happy to see you here ^^

I have forwarded your question. Answers  say that there is no already implemented (like usual Ctrl-C) way to cancel an RPS process yet.

They refer to this post : https://stackoverflow.com/questions/22657514/terminating-an-ironpython-script/22856785#22856785 and suggest to use a cancel/toggle button or something like this (or alternatively a file you delete). I assume considering time required that you have loops. Maybe you could try something like :
if button has been pushed => break at the beginning of your main loop.

The file alternative is to check if a file still exist. You delete the file to cancel the loop.

Maybe native in RPS in a future release ^^

Hi Cyril,

I wasn't expecting a response from someone I realy know in person. I'm very pleased!!!.

Your answer confirms my suspitions. For now there's no out of the box solution for this. Yes, maybe the best aoproch is a continuos check within the loops for key events.

Thank you fot your reply
